Complementing the Simillimum in Chronic Diseases

Summary

Although the ideal homeopathic treatment would be to find one remedy that completely cures the case, daily practice is that even if THE simillimum is found this very seldom leads to a complete cure of a chronic disease. The method Peter Chappell used to design a simillimum for AIDS in Africa soon appeared to be also useful for creating remedies for chronic diseases. These disease-specific PC remedies can be prescribed to complement the action of the simillimum. The case presented is an example of how this new method can be used in practice. The history of PC remedies in epidemics and chronic diseases is summarised, and the philosophical basis discussed; practical instructions are given on how to use PC remedies in chronic diseases to complement the simillimum.
